What social media tool is your favorite? How do you use it with your students? #DI4ALL

JMcCarthyEdS - Moderator Aug 16 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Hi @bethrayl I find the Google Drive apps support collaborative support among students #DI4all

JMcCarthyEdS - Moderator Aug 16 @ 8:23 PM EDT

Piktochart https://t.co/RBLFlg8Zgg is great for creating visual representations. It’s even better when students do the work #di4all

Like you, I think the Google Apps are awesome for collaboration. The chat/comment feature helps make feedback feel conversational. #DI4ALL

JMcCarthyEdS - Moderator Aug 16 @ 8:23 PM EDT

What other visual tools are out there for learners to use in their thinking? #DI4ALL

JMcCarthyEdS - Moderator Aug 16 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@bethrayl What are ways that you use the chat feature? I’ve wondered about that. #DI4all

bethrayl Aug 16 @ 8:25 PM EDT

I've used the chat feature with students to give feedback on writing assignments. Students say they are less intimidated this way. #DI4ALL

JMcCarthyEdS - Moderator Aug 16 @ 8:26 PM EDT

EdPuzzle https://t.co/JcUxWpQyN0 & Caption https://t.co/snti30s7uU are great for chunking video content with questions #di4all

bethrayl Aug 16 @ 8:26 PM EDT

It feels more like a conversation and less like an evaluation to them. #DI4ALL

JMcCarthyEdS - Moderator Aug 16 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@bethrayl Is that because they are written in the margin? #di4all

JMcCarthyEdS - Moderator Aug 16 @ 8:27 PM EDT

Chunking a 10 minute video into 3-4 parts makes for better comprehension of the whole. #di4all

bethrayl Aug 16 @ 8:28 PM EDT

ThingLink https://t.co/fXTRwE2Ht9 is a great tool for adding notes and annotations to pictures or video. #DI4ALL

JMcCarthyEdS - Moderator Aug 16 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@bethrayl I love that tool. It could be used with science, such as erosion or other environmental issues. #di4all

cawhittaker1 Aug 16 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@JMcCarthyEdS it's a easy to use tool that allows Ss to represent their learning in a different way #di4all

bethrayl Aug 16 @ 8:30 PM EDT

Partly because of the margin idea. Also - students get to reply back if they don't want to make suggested edits. Uncovers thinking. #DI4ALL

@bethrayl Padlet https://t.co/GFvEIkHEHe & Stormboard https://t.co/QhyxMSKR9F are similar to Thinglink #di4all All good options #miched

bethrayl Aug 16 @ 8:32 PM EDT

I love using Padlet for brainstorming. Great tool for getting all voices in the room. #DI4ALL

JMcCarthyEdS - Moderator Aug 16 @ 8:33 PM EDT

Hi Carrie @cawhittaker1 Thanks for sharing. What are tools that Ss have used for learning flexibility? :) #di4all

cawhittaker1 Aug 16 @ 8:34 PM EDT

@JMcCarthyEdS thinglink is another tech great tool to use #DI4ALL

This could lead to new ways of thinking: Brainstorming is dumb https://t.co/8RWn2rdaaB by @aisneed via @FastCoDesign #di4all

I've heard people talk about PowToon but I've never used it. Anyone have thoughts? #DI4ALL

JMcCarthyEdS - Moderator Aug 16 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@bethrayl PowToon https://t.co/bQyRN7nJST is fun. Adds a video medium to learning. Opens up Student Voice #di4all

bethrayl Aug 16 @ 8:40 PM EDT

Fakebook https://t.co/dhuKVgDaD4 is a fun way to have students engage with social studies. Create a FB page for historical figures. #DI4ALL

JMcCarthyEdS - Moderator Aug 16 @ 8:40 PM EDT

Screencastify https://t.co/iG67NoMIoQ Jing https://t.co/LoqhU8AmX8 & Snagit https://t.co/wRNTG82XNi are screen recorders #di4all content

JMcCarthyEdS - Moderator Aug 16 @ 8:41 PM EDT

Screen recorder tools can be used to provide video tutorials by the teacher OR by students #di4all

JMcCarthyEdS - Moderator Aug 16 @ 8:41 PM EDT

@bethrayl That’s cool. Can you give an example? #di4all

cawhittaker1 Aug 16 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@JMcCarthyEdS animoto allows Ss to articulate their learning through video #di4all

JMcCarthyEdS - Moderator Aug 16 @ 8:43 PM EDT

@cawhittaker1 Nice! How does Animoto https://t.co/j9XUxFy1bU work? #di4all

bethrayl Aug 16 @ 8:44 PM EDT

Civil Rights Movement - Create a page for MLK, Jr. and have him connected to friends like Bayard Rustin #DI4ALL

JMcCarthyEdS - Moderator Aug 16 @ 8:45 PM EDT

I like this idea of having historical figures “talk” to each other. Adds complexity #di4all https://t.co/M2Z8g4DNvg

@JMcCarthyEdS Free version is 60sec to add text, voice, pics, video to a variety of video templates #easytouse #di4all

bethrayl Aug 16 @ 8:47 PM EDT

I've used Skype https://t.co/TuUrm1rTo9 to connect to classrooms around the world. Places like Argentina, China, Japan, Brazil, etc. #DI4ALL

JMcCarthyEdS - Moderator Aug 16 @ 8:47 PM EDT
